I've had a fun time the last week noting the reactions to Steve Yegge's latest post (Code's Worst Enemy). Now, Yegge always manages to write stuff that generate interesting - and in some cases insane - comments. This time, the results are actually quite a bit more aligned. I'm seeing several trends, the largest being that having generated a 500K LOC code base in the first case is a sin against mankind. The second one being that you should never have one code base that's so large, it should be modularized into several hundreds of smaller projects/modules. The third reaction is that Yegge should be using Scala for the rewrite.
